John Vere Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) I just close Cakewalk. Lots of other software I use won’t work when Cakewalk is open. Like Movie Studio ( Vegas) but then just about everything else does work when it’s closed. No big deal. There’s a suspend audio engine when cakewalk is not in focus in preferences you could try Edited August 1, 2021 by John Vere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Rose Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 If possible I'd like some help on similar topic. I've downloaded the drivers and newest cakewalk. It runs OK til I try to record something then it splutters and stops. Have I set everything up correctly for mtk 12? I've used cakewalk for many years but not with something as hefty as this before. Any help appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Did you not read the very first solution ? the OP needed to switch to the proper ASIO driver. You’re using WASAPI which not all devices support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Rose Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Thanks for the replies; of course I had read all this thread (and lots more besides!) but as i had no knowledge of Waspy and ASIOs I didn't understand. I do now. Many thanks esp to Jeremy Oakes whose comments were esp helpful. I've manged to do a practice recording and hear it back too... Couple more questions you may also find ridiculous so feel free to ignore: I assume I add pan, effects etc on Cakewalk in mixing, I just use the Soundcraft for gain? If using for live sound (something I've never done but might well do), would you go through Cakewalk (probably a very silly question)? Thanks again RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again RR 1) yes its better to add effects etc in Cakewalk at the mixing stage. 2) no, you only need to « attach » Cakewalk if you want to record the concert via USB. My band goes through the MTK (16 tracks) to get the balance correct then via its main outs into a stereo 2x500w power amp. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Rose Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Sorry to resurrect this topic, I am starting to get the hang of this but I don't seem to be able to output to individual tracks (as explained by Jeremy Oakes - thanks!) only to stereo pairs which means two instruments are on the same slider. Any idea why this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Oakes Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Are you sure your Soundcraft driver is in ASIO mode ? J Edited January 24, 2022 by Jeremy Oakes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vere Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) It should look like my screenshot in ASIO mode. This is what It looks like in WASAPI shared or WDM modes Therefore why I think @Jeremy Oakes might be right. Looks like your not in ASIO mode. But still, even so you should still have mono input options unless the Soundcraft driver is not working properly. Checking the show Mono outputs doesn't change anything for any of my interfaces but who knows, might work.

Jeremy Oakes Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) @John Vere : the Soundcraft drivers, for me have always been rock solid. (Better, dare i say, than Focusrite ?fyi i have a 18i20 in my studio, the MTK is for live and sometimes studio work). They were written at the beginning of W10 period and survived seamlessly the various feature upgrades to that OS. I will post a screenshot tomorrow am (its 11.30pm here in France) as to how they should look in Cakewalk. For me, the op is not in Asio mode.

John Vere Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Agreed. I have a Signature 10 with just the 2 channel USB audio and the driver is on par with any of my other interfaces. I bought it for playback as I use a laptop for backing tracks but I tried it with Cakewalk and it was working perfectly fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Oakes Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Here are attached images of screenshots of my MTK22 settings as seen by Cakewalk. In settings01.jpg you'll see "Show Mono Tracks" is ticked, as per Mark's suggestions. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
